@Nachtfliege I got the add-on to finally work - the <layout> flag in vehicles.meta is incorrect - using "LAYOUT_VAN_BCAT" crashes the game whereas changing it to "LAYOUT_VAN_ARMORED" works. I added the 'bcat_vehiclelayouts.meta' file and enabled it in the content.xml file also.

The problem now is that the sirens don't work at all! I have the siren settings put in the carcols.meta correctly so is there some other setting in the vehicles.meta file that needs to be edited for it to work? I also have the 'sirensettings.asi' mod to help with these kinds of mods since there are a lot of police cars/vehicles.

@Suzerain001 if you're disassembling the package for FIveM, please don't state things as "incorrect". The mod has been tested in SP, and when it comes to configuration of the truck itself all things you mentioned are fine.

As far as I know, FiveM doesn't support custom vehiclelayouts, this is impossible for us to fix. And no, if sirensetting is in carcols and its ID is correctly referenced in carvariations, then there's nothing to add elsewhere to make it work Perhaps your carcols or carvariations don't load for whatever reason..

@w.. I am not using FiveM - I combine cars into my own packs for my personal use in SP since I don't want 500 lines in my dlclist.xml - I combine various cars into my own packs. Just because something "works in SP" doesn't make it okay - the game does crash when adding this car to SP as an add-on in combination with other cars. I didn't change a singe line of code so user error is eliminated. The problem is the mod - as mentioned, when changing the <layout> flag in vehicles.meta it works.

It helps when troubleshooting such things so that if/when the mod-author updates the mod, he/she can fix these issues going forward.

@Suzerain001 alright, apologies for false assumptions. Changing the layout name to the one you used breaks animations of peds in the car and their seating layout, so it's not something good for sure. As you said you use about 500 mods. If so, it is quite likely your game goes over some limit when adding new layout, or perhaps the layouts file you add is configured incorrectly in content.xml?
I am so certain this is not a problem of the mod itself but rather an incompatibility or game engine limit being exceeded, because I was the one to test it in development, and in my much lighter mods setup there never has never been a layouts-related problem.

@Suzerain001 yeah, the mod as a standalone works just fine, especially the layouts were tested thoroughly. Youre probably running into issues because of what w.. said.

@Nachtfliege @w.. yea you are probably right. I have this same issue with some add-on planes and the "Itali GTO N-Larga" car mod too. The custom layout doesn't seem to load or if I use it, the game crashes. Do you know how I can fix this? Or modify the game limit for layout files?

Anyway, the car works fine with the modified <layout> flag but obviously it's not 100% since getting in/out looks odd. Would really be great if you can help fix this issue - I have tons of custom car packs that I created myself with car mods such as this one - it's great to organize the cars since I have like 30 lines in the dlclist.xml file and like >600 add-on vehicles.

This crashes my game on startup with the new update. Any idea what could be causing that? (Don't say gameconfig because i have a proper one installed)

@Suzerain001 No clue to be honest; I'm not a coder. Layout limit is probably hardcoded in the .exe. You can either a) remove some other custom layouts that arent necessary for the cars functionality unlike here, or find a mod that breaks the hardcoded limit, but I'm not aware of any. Sorry.

Vehicle is cool but it gives an error when in loading: "Game memory error. Please reboot and restart the game."
Ive tried everything, 2 discord servers of support and no change, the mod might be broken or something :(

Can you make a replace version of this? I think this would be a great replacement for the riot swat trucks.

Can I by chance get the model for this vehicle, I'm making stuff for Gruppe6 on a server.

How did you set up the vehicle to be able with 10 passengers? Would really glad for your help

@The Loot Does combat tweaks still work? Ive enabled no restrictions and they are spawning....but its random civs driving them

@quattrosolo Haven't messed with the game in months, but I would assume the script is still working. RemoveSwatAutomobileRestriction set to 1? Correct PedModels set in the VehicleSets? Not too many models being used in VehicleSets in total for related DispatchVehicleSets?

will there ever be els ?

@Chxrlotte Not for lore models like this.

@Nachtfliege Could I have your permission to upload an edited Carcols for this file which converts the lighting setup to all red for NYPD/LCPD?

@NicholasCage of course

@Nachtfliege Thank you

I would like to write swat on the vehicle and then use it publicly on my server and wanted to ask if I could do that
